Various Artists: Moon Rock Volume 4

Moon Rock Volume 4 is possibly the best chill out compilation you can get that is also committed to vinyl. Eternally comfortable to just slip into, it befits chilly early mornings as much as it does a hazy afternoon.

Ashes To Ashes: Verge talks up debut EP for Avian ‘Emblematic Ruin’

Avian are on the cusp of releasing their next instalment, an eight-track drone/dark ambient affair courtesy of Irish newcomer Andre Gough aka Verge. Titled ‘Emblematic Ruin’, Gough’s debut makes for a compelling break from 4/4 functionality and other beaconed, trussed-up audio terrains.

Lord of the Isles: In Waves

Lord Of The Isles has turned his hand to a full length, working closely with Californian based ESP Institute to distil a wide selection of tracks from the past few years into ‘In Waves’. For a man without any academically noticeable ‘talent’ for music the resulting album is, quite simply, excellent.

Pris talks up ‘Love, Labour, Loss’

Following up his promising debut album, Pris returns this fall on Avian with the all-consuming ‘Love, Labour, Loss’. We caught up with the UK-born, Berlin-based producer to find out more about the making of his new release, as he reveals more on the duology’s raison d’être and his growing appetite for production. Stream the dark and wild ‘Feral Calling’ within.

Milton Bradley lifts the veil on The End Of All Existence

Five years after the last episode of The End Of All Existence, Milton Bradley is back with the ultimate number of the series, the soberly-titled ‘Part III’. We took the chance to discuss this particular project, the recent release of his debut LP and how Berlin shaped his vision. You can also stream the gloomy ambient cut ‘6 Minutes Before Dawn’ within.

Berlin Atonal 2016

Berlin Atonal is a Pandora’s box, bringing forth a wide array of expectations before it was even open. We were fortunate enough to attend the festival in Berlin Mitte and witness at first hand cutting-edge performances. Here’s our day-by-day report.

Premiere: Sad City – Smoke

Gary Caruth’s debut solo album as Sad City, released on July 29th via Emotional Response and Meda Fury, makes for a particularly enticing journey into the producer’s elegiac post-urban universe, allowing his supple blends of ambient and breathable electronica to fully develop. Stream the brightly-hued ‘Smoke’ within.

Premiere: Pjoni – VVR Asylum

Exploring the fringes of listening ease and audio curves, Pjoni’s ‘Liminal Zones’ dares going in places few want to investigate nowadays. Don’t expect a proper rhythm, no groove, no mellifluous harmony. Stream the arrythmic ‘VVR Asylum’ in full within.

Unsound Toronto x Luminato Festival

A wave of furious, dusted-up and dishevelled splendour that came over the Hearn Generating Station in Toronto on the weekend June 10th – as the venerable festival institution Unsound was invited to curate two days worth of programming at a venue that came off as a vast, dystopian wonderland.

Bugaev: Sonm

Somn feels altogether more complete – building on Bugaev’s previous work with comprehensive excursions that nestle somewhere neatly between the peaceful and the compelling.
